There’s nothing like a cool, fall day and the smell of something warm and sweet baking in the oven! Fall is the return of so many of my favorite things, including baking season and, of course, pumpkin season!
I love whipping up baked goodies in the fall, but I’m not the best baker in the world (I seriously have so much to learn from my mother, the ace baker in the family). I’m not horrible, but I haven’t found a recipe that I can absolutely nail. My baked goods are usually just a little “off.” My cakes are a touch too dry and my cookies always seem to be a little too dark on the bottom.
Well, I definitely did something right with this cookie recipe because I nailed it! These Soft and Chewy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies are the ultimate fall cookie! Think: classic chocolate chip cookie with just the right amount of pumpkin goodness and a soft and chewy texture!
The recipe starts off like a traditional chocolate chip cookie recipe – butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, and all of that good stuff. But then the magic happens! I added in some pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice to give these cookies a dose of fall flavor.
But the real secret to making the chewiest, best-tasting chocolate chip cookies ever is using Karo® Corn Syrup! Up until now, I basically kept Karo® Corn Syrup on hand to use in my husband’s favorite Chocolate Pecan Pie. That’s all changed thanks to this cookie recipe!
Soft and Chewy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
When it comes to cookies, I prefer them soft and chewy instead of crispy. You’ll usually find me sneaking a few cookies from the baking sheets when they’re fresh out of the oven! Karo® Corn Syrup keeps cookies soft and chewy for that “fresh from the oven” flavor in every delicious bite! It’s a great ingredient to keep on hand for your fall recipes.
These cookies aren't just a perfect mashup of chocolate chips and pumpkin. They're a drop style cookie, so they're super easy to make, too! Just mix up all of the ingredients, then drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto baking sheets, and bake until they're fluffy and slightly golden!
